I saw a picture of Glen Campbell playing a Strat style guitar with 3 split p type pickups on it . They looked kind of like lightning bolts. Has anybody got any information on these, I've never seen these before. They look awesome. I have seen bass guitars with configurations like this but never a regular guitar.

That sounds like the configuration of the G&L Comanche guitar -- one of Leo's updated Strat-style designs that his G&L company produced.

Cool guitar..

How he's doing with the Alzheimers? That's a damn shame. I understand he's getting cards and letters from people he don't even know..

Good luck Glen.

It's a beast of a guitar too. Those pickups are powerful.

I saw him the other day riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo.
